Great Attorney

Agatha & her team are a knowledgeable, dedicated, professional & caring team who took care of my case very promptly. Choosing an understanding divorce attorney can be a hard decision during trying days of life, & Agatha Rode did a great job completing this complex case.

Look no further...Agatha is best option by far!

Agatha and Kayla have been a source of peace when going through my complex and highly combative divorce. Agatha has always been very responsive to both emails and phone calls. She is very professional and well respected both on and off the "court". She is focused on making sure the well-being of y...our children is at the forefront of every step of the process. This team is the best in San Antonio, and I would recommend them to everyone who is in need of the best kind of legal assistance.

The last Attorney you'll need or want

I wish that I would have known about Mrs Rode 2 lawyers ago. When I first met with her in 2012 I was optimistic as I was in the Air Force and stationed in North Carolina with a 9 year old daughter living in Texas with her "mom". It was rough exercising visitation with a non complaint custodial parent... who refused to support a relationship with her father. I was paying child support since birth. When we moved to San Antonio in 2014, that all changed. Mrs Rode got things rolling before we even settled in. We realized her health and education were not being taken care of. We were given extended visitation and in less than a year was awarded 50% custody with offset CS. After working that arrangement for 18 months and numerous visits to court we were granted full custody. They were a lot of struggles and surprises along the way but due to Mrs Rode calm court demeanor, knowledge of family law and anticipated moves of the opposing council we stayed 3 steps ahead. Agatha always seemed like everything was right where they should be. Her confidence was a huge benefit to have on my side of the bench. She prepped me before every court appearance and had us prepared for any outcome. An additional trait of hers was managing my expectations. We all know that the court system is painful and a slow moving machine. Nothing happens over night and she did her job with integrity and fury. Great communicator and always replied immediately pending on the urgency of the matter at hand. At times she guided me thru long, hard, rocky roads and ensured that justice would prevail. It did. My family owes Agatha Rode a great debt that can't be repaid, just enjoyed.

The Height of Professionalism and Support!

Ms. Rode provided support and advice during my very trying "uncontested" divorce with my spouse. She seemed able to give me one-to-one service in spite of her considerable client caseload. I found her to be an expert in her fields, and always alert to my problems and concerns. She stayed on top of al...l my legal matters in a caring and professional manner.

child custody

Mrs.Rode listened to my story to the case she is a very great listener she tells you what you do and don't want to hear but has so much confidence.. Which you will hear when she speaks to you on what she is going to do and the process.. Mrs. Rode and her staff respond to yo quick and inform you on th...ings quickly they are very responsive... In court Mrs. Rode was shutting down every question and amo the opposite attorney would try to use... She is very knowledgeable... She was great for me and my son I was very pleased with her fight and my experience with her I would highly recommend her... Get her she is great
